T11 headlights

[Thud]

hi youall
ive got the cotton picking lights from the old US of A

Sounds cool - did you have to realign the headlight beams? I\'m tempted to change mine but I\'ve tried realigning headlight beam myself in the past and was never happy with the result.

If I\'m going to go ahead and get some I want to know if I need to factor in the cost of a garage to alter the beams.

yes i did re-align the headlights only because the  adjusting screws were stuck and i had to free them off. :Grrr

 you should not have to re-align if your not a fiddler like me. :Nono!

 
Ii took  my car to the local MOT station and adjusted them myself while the guy checked them on the light thingy [its only 2 screws per light] it took 5mins. and was free of charge. :god

They are def. a big inprovement. :yes

would love to see night pics just the halo side of it

[g.miller]

sorry Stu.
i tested the halo bit before fitting to the car and decided it was not worth chopping the wireing up to connect them after seeing what they looked like. :2Confused
To show you the halo side if it i would have to remove from the car and i would rather not now i have them all lined up.

try looking on e-bay uk for mazda RX7 halo lights. their was a site which showed them all lit up :Thumbsup!

if your desperate i can do?
Grant :WaveBye

Cheers

and yes MPG drops with MPH

[Brett]

MPG is Inversely proportional to how quickly you attain MPH

Ok, whats your loweest MPG then?  I think ai managed 5mpg in the EGI when I was going for 0-60 times.  (The day i recorded the 5.98sec)

[g.miller]

5 miles per gallon.

your lucky

i think i get around 5 gallons per mile driving around Cambridge or should i trying to drive around Cambridge.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they look ok actually - i have some fogs to fit in there..not sure how it will effect brake cooling though

[maz13b]

I think those fog lights from ebay would be illigal to use as normal fog light so I had to stick it 45 deg up so that the lights itself arent visible and that gives clear channel for the air that cools the brakes.

I have also purchased 10mm yellow and red bulbs to construct new brake and turning lights like they have on new BMWs etc...   Cant wait to start working on those.  Would look amazing imo.

[grinder]

yeah i see your point about the front

would be nice if you could do the rears though

its a nice TII though - you had it long ?

[maz13b]

I have had it since September last year so I would say not very long. I am new to rotary world.

Enjoying every minute of it tho. Got it off some australian guy who didnt have time for it for £950.

Everyone in my family hates it tho and say I should sell it and get something that I can afford but I say screw them

Grinder, do you know anyone who might be interested in helping me change the clutch on it? I love DIY stuff and so far done all repairs on it myself but feeling changing clutch is a little bit out of my league
